Diablo Cody defends her pseudonym:
I know my name is fake and that it annoys you. What, do you hate Queen Latifah and Rip Torn, too? Writers and entertainers have been using pseudonyms for years. Chances are, you’re spewing bile under an assumed screen name yourself.
And what’s more:
I like my fake name. It’s engraved on an Oscar. Yours isn’t.
Actually, the rest of her posting is much more fun, but I figured if I got this much of it down, you’d read it all anyway. Besides, Rip Torn’s real last name is … Torn.
